A South American diplomatist said to-day:
''ls may be interesting to those who are dis
cussing the subject of street cleaning in New
York to know that in several of the South
American countries, notably Chilli and the Ar
eentine Republic, women are employed to
sweep the streets. This plan was first adopted
by the government of Chilli when most all the
men in the republic were engaged in the subju-
CATION of Peru, but it proved so successful that
it was not only continued, but was adopted in
the adjoining republic. Contracts are let to
women or to men, as the case may be. for keep
inc portion of the city clean, and every morn
ing. at about o'clock, gangs of women go out
with their brooms and sweep the dirt into little
piles, when it is gathered up by men with carts,
who follow them. The contracts are small. and
the territory to be swept by each contractor
does not amount to moro than a mile of our
pavement. The streets are paved with Belgian
block, like Fifth avenue, and are always az
clean in the morning as dairy floor"
